An original heat driven air-conditioning concept: advanced desiccant and evaporative cooling cycle numerical analysis.

Author(s) : MOTTA M., HENNING H. M.

Summary

The use of thermal energy for air conditioning in buildings has attracted interest in recent years. For humid-warm climates, systems based on thermodynamic open cycles and employing a solid desiccant material are energy efficient. Their application has been studied in the past decades, for large size air-conditioning plants with compulsory ventilation. The disadvantage of such systems is the thermodynamic limit of the cycle employed which reduces the possibility to exploit the technology under all conditions. Moreover, desiccant cooling air conditioning systems are not economically suitable for small size applications. In this paper, a new desiccant cooling concept is presented.
